I really don't want to live for another 70 years

Greetings.

I really don't want to live for another 70 years. I can't win, I can't find my "place" in life, I will never wake up and be happy.

I have been alive long enough to see that I am going to be ill, alone and depressed for the rest of my life. Not a single day goes by that I can say I am glad I lived to see it.

I don't want to be triggering but what do I do if I can't succeed in life and I can't make it through another 70 years? It would be such a painful waste of time to live all that time.

The fact is.... we all like to avoid mentioning how nature works and we all like to turn a blind eye to the truth. Some of us can't win, some of us should of died in the wild but because of our modern society we are kept around. Its just the way nature is, some people are born to win others are born physically or mentally ill and won't ever enjoy life or find success.

What do we do? Those that have not seen or felt endless days and nights of pain and unhappiness would let us believe there is a way to make it all right. I am old enough to know that is not true for a large group of us.

So what do we do?

How long have you felt this way, Voxx? Sounds like you're pretty young if you're wondering about living another 70 years. I never heard of anyone's depression lasting "forever," so please seek help, whether it be by a psychiatrist and/or therapist. There IS and WILL BE a way out of your depression.

Sorry I don't have any helpful answers, I just want to say that I can relate to all of that and feel the same way.

i'm in my 20's, and i have no idea what i want from life- i don't see myself living another year, so i can forgget about 70 right now.

i hear you

Don't look too far ahead. Just try and deal with the day that you are in.

That is a good question. I'm not looking forward to the rest of my life either. I agree with you on every level. Life is completely unfair. That is one reason why I will never have kids. I would never want anyone to experience this. I see no hope at all, my depression has lasted about 18 years so far (I'm 23), I don't see it going away any time soon.

There are people who are always depression. My brain is screwed and I am never going to feel enjoyment or entertainment from anything, I'm just a brain dead zombie.

What do we do? We all just sit around waiting for something to happen, some signal to tell us what to do to get out of this mess, but it never comes and we eventually by some means expire.

I know its futile but I thought if I didn't come on here and ask at least once in my life I might miss out on some knowledge somebody has found.
